Serum predictors of native liver survival post‐Kasai: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives After hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE), a minority of biliary atresia (BA) patients reach adolescence without liver transplantation. Several serum markers have been suggested to better predict post‐HPE outcomes in BA patients. We aimed to identify serum predictors of native liver survival (NLS) in post‐HPE BA patients.

A Narrative Review of Syphilis Notification Systems in Korea: Change to Mandatory Surveillance System [PDF]

Urogenital Tract Infection
New cases of syphilis are clearly showing an increasing trend worldwide. However, in a sentinel surveillance system, the collection of information on disease outbreaks is limited, making it difficult to understand the overall outbreak situation and ...

Prediction and Prognostication of Peripheral Blood Biomarkers in Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective While many with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cHNSCC) respond well to surgery alone, there is a need to refine traditional staging systems. We aim to identify whether peripheral blood biomarkers (PBBMs) may enhance current staging for prognostication and adjuvant treatment selection.

Objective measures for sentinel surveillance in network epidemiology [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2018
Assume one has the capability of determining whether a node in a network is infectious or not by probing them. Then problem of optimizing sentinel surveillance in networks is to identify the nodes to probe such that an emerging disease outbreak can be discovered early or reliably. Whether the emphasis should be on early or reliable detection depends on

Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

The Interactional Pathways of Mass Killings: Toward a Novel Understanding of Rampage School Shootings

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Rampage school shootings, where students go to their own school to randomly kill classmates, teachers, friends, and strangers, are among the most drastic types of human behavior. While research increasingly points to interaction dynamics as being key for the emergence of crime and violence, scholars have not yet systematically studied interaction ...

Views of Vidigal: negotiating opportunities and risks in a gentrifying favela in Rio de Janeiro Favela avec vue : négocier opportunités et risques dans un quartier en voie de gentrification à Rio de Janeiro

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The contested dynamics of slum gentrification in Rio de Janeiro came into focus during the brief period of relative peace brought by the pacification policy leading up to the 2016 Olympics. In this unprecedented moment, Rio's South Zone favela residents experienced a respite from the daily confrontations with police operations and drug trade violence ...
